"Master, we didn't buy anything, so why..."
After looking at the discount, the price is still shocking.
Wang Lishi stammered and looked at Zhao Chongyuan.
Zhao Chongyuan glanced at Erwazi and the others who were crowded around him, and then at the two carriages with large and small bags outside Zhao's Trading Company.
Only then did he react.
It’s not that they didn’t sell anything, it’s that they sold too much.
He sold forty enamel clocks alone that could calculate time, and almost a hundred of those celestial mirrors that could see far away. He planned to equip none of the important generals in Daqian's army with one when he returned.
But the problem is that even if they buy two whole carriages, they can't carry four more people.
It's not like it costs a total of 170,000 taels of silver.
How much tax do they have to pay for a year's work?
These 170,000 taels are equivalent to half a county's taxes for a year.
Especially the price of 170,000 taels after the 50% discount.
Without the 50% discount, the price would be more than 340,000 taels.
What's more important is that they haven't brought so much money with them this time.
After all the calculations, I only brought 70,000 taels of silver.
It's just a fraction...
"Well, we..."
Zhao Chongyuan stood there and hesitated for a long time, unable to say a word.
You say they have money, they do.
You say they don’t have money, but they really don’t.
Because the money on my body is only enough to pay a fraction...
It's not that Zhao Chongyuan is a spendthrift, it's that there are too many weird things in Zhao's trading house.
Telescope.
Enamel clock!
There is also the soap that is more fragrant than the soap made by the best craftsmen in their palace, and the perfume that looks ordinary but contains a strong fragrance.
Take these things back and reward them to the concubines in his harem.
If nothing else, the resentment can be reduced by at least half in an instant.
As for those glass cups that they regarded as treasures before.
It's garbage compared to these things.
It's no wonder that the herdsman looked at the way they treasured the glass and looked down on them as country bumpkins.
Compared with telescopes, enamel clocks, and perfumes, they are indeed rubbish...
But these questions are not important right now.
What's important is that he doesn't have enough money in his pocket.
He, an emperor, went on a trip incognito and didn't have enough money in his pocket to buy things!
Aren't you going to be laughed at if this spreads out?
Where should he put his old face, Zhao Chongyuan?
"You won't have any money in your pocket, will you?"
Seeing Zhao Chongyuan hesitate to speak, the shopkeeper seemed to notice Zhao Chongyuan's embarrassment. He stepped forward and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with an unkind expression.
"big....."
Seeing this disrespectful look, Wang Lishi opened his mouth and wanted to drink loudly.
But he looked at the postures around him and the several burly men who had already walked over with maces.
The words he spoke suddenly changed. He looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face: "Brother, look at what you said. Our master is a businessman. How can he not carry money when he goes out to buy things?"
"Then give me the money."
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand.
Wang Lishi immediately sneered: "Isn't it because the things in your store are so good? Our master was very happy to see them. If he couldn't bear it, he just stopped, so..."
Having said this, Wang Lishi looked at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face.
“What do you mean if you don’t have money?”
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Lishi and Zhao Chongyuan with a playful expression.
"No, no, no, we didn't bring enough money,"
Wang Lishi shook his head repeatedly. After speaking, without waiting for the shopkeeper to say anything, he quickly took out seven banknotes and handed them to the shopkeeper: "My master came to Youzhou for the first time, so he didn't have much money with him.
If not, how about you give us as many goods as the money can sell? "
The shopkeeper glanced at the tour guide aside calmly, and saw the latter nodded.
Then he said: "I have seen many out-of-towners like you. You don't have any money in your pocket, and you still buy everything indiscriminately."
Listen to what the shopkeeper said.
Wang Lishi and Zhao Chongyuan were also embarrassed.
Shameful
In their entire lives, this was the first time that they had been scolded like this.
When the shopkeeper saw that Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi stopped talking, he gave up as soon as they got along: "Okay, for the sake of it being your first time, let it go. I won't do it next time."
"Hey, eh, eh."
Wang Lishi was overjoyed and quickly handed over the banknote in his hand.
Half an hour later.
Looking at the cargo that was suddenly reduced by more than half, I was thinking about the two full loads of weird stuff just now.
Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi suddenly lost interest.
The black-hearted tour guide came over with a smile on his face: "Two guests, since the things have been bought, the younger one will lead someone to put the two guests' things on the carriage first."
"Good work."
Zhao Chongyuan replied in low spirits, not even bothering to raise his head.
But from the corner of my eye, I saw the shady tour guide and several Zhao's merchants looking excited about their work, especially after the thing was loaded onto the carriage, they were eager to get up and run.
Zhao Chongyuan felt something was wrong again.
"Rikishi, have we been tricked again?"
How come these two characters "youyou" are so magical?
Not to mention Zhao Chongyuan was stunned, even Wang Lishi looked stunned.
Why are there only two "again"s?
But looking at the things on the carriage, Wang Lishi still said with a regretful expression: "Your Majesty, I think we had a lot of fun selling today. The only pity is that we didn't bring enough money, otherwise we could have brought back more. "
Wang Lishi blinked.
"Is it still a good deal?"
Zhao Chongyuan snorted: "That's a total of seventy thousand taels of silver. How much money do I have in my inner treasury?
Seventy thousand taels, that's half a year's tax for a county, a year's salary for two princes, and enough to support three thousand people for half a year. It's money that ordinary people can't earn in a lifetime.
But now, so much money was sold for a carriage.
You actually told me it was a good deal? "
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi with fire in his eyes.
"Huh? So many?"
After settling the account, Wang Lishi was immediately shocked and looked at Zhao Chongyuan in astonishment.
Did they just go down with 70,000 taels of silver?
And then you bought a truckload of stuff?
Or are they all things that look novel but are actually not very expensive?
"Your Majesty, we were given...given...by them..."
Touching his bare pocket, Wang Lishi pointed anxiously in the direction where the black-hearted tour guide was leading the people to run away, and stamped his feet!
Zhao Chongyuan's face turned as black as carbon: "This traitor doesn't care about cheating others, but dares to cheat him."
With his eyes, he could naturally see that there was no support from Zhao Ding behind this.
Even if these small Youzhou merchants had the guts to kill foreigners like this!
"Your Majesty, let's return it!"
Wang Lishi said through gritted teeth.
He is the great eunuch who is the chief eunuch and has not seen anything bad in these years.
But why did the boat capsize in this small Youzhou City?
"Ouch, I have such a stinky face."
Wang Lishi was furious and slapped himself hard twice.
Zhao Chongyuan's face was gloomy: "Return your goods? What a return, I can't afford to lose face like this."
He, an old man, was cheated in his son's fiefdom.
I was defrauded and didn’t even have a dime left.
Afterwards, when you react, do you still want to return the goods?
Where is he putting his face?
Lifting his legs, he walked towards the steps of Zhao's Trading Company.
But I just took two steps.
Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi were stunned.
Is this still the Youzhou City they came from before?
Why are there carts pushing yellow mud everywhere in the streets and alleys?
Some people were busy pouring yellow mud on the road, and some were busy breaking the yellow mud into mud and smearing it on the walls made of blue bricks.
Others were already on the roof, busy laying a layer of thatch on the roof tiles.
"What is this for?"
Zhao Chongyuan was confused.
"I do not know."
Wang Lishi was also confused.
Why are these beautiful streets like this?
You have nothing to do, but you have enough to eat?
Even while they were stunned for a while, someone brought a cow over and deliberately dropped some cow dung on the road.
Then crush it to pieces.
If they weren't standing far apart, I would have just sprayed them in the face...
"I'll ask."
Wang Lishi said something, then trotted all the way, walked up, looked at one of the common people who was working, and asked: "What are you doing, fellow villager? Why do you treat this good city like this?"
"immigrant?"
the man asked.
"Yeah."
Wang Lishi nodded repeatedly.
"Bah, outsiders shouldn't ask about local people's affairs."
The man spit in his hands, rubbed them, and continued to pick up the shovel and push the yellow mud against the wall.
"Forehead....."
Wang Lishi looked embarrassed and turned to look at Zhao Chongyuan with a look of helplessness.
when!
when!
when!
Just heard this.
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the front.
A group of people in official uniforms suddenly came from outside the crowd. The leader banged the gong and shouted: "Brothers and fellow countrymen, it's up to you whether His Highness Prince Yan can stay in our Youzhou. Lift your arms and do me a good job. From now on, whoever dares to say that we in Youzhou are rich will have to sew up his ass first.
And starting from today, every night when I get home, I will go to the kitchen to drink two bowls of swill. Don’t drink the ones that are not sour, and drink the ones that are sour.
I vomited and defecated for a few days to make myself look more embarrassed. "
After saying that, he pointed to the fat and tactful young man in the crowd: "That damn fat man, stop turning your head. I'm talking about you. From now on, if you run around the city twenty times for me, when will you be as skinny as a stick?" Just stop it anytime.
Don't even look at what kind of place our Youzhou is under the eyes of the dog emperor. How could we raise a big-bodied and round-waisted person like you?
Run for me! "
when!
The leading officer banged his hammer on the gong again.
“This time, it’s up to you whether our Prince Yan can continue to stay in Youzhou!
Brothers, spread your arms and fuck me! "
After the official shouted together.
Suddenly, the people in Youzhou City worked harder to spread mud on the wall!
Only Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi were left confused.
How did Zhao Ding know about their coming to Youzhou?
They looked at each other, and two big question marks appeared in their eyes at the same time.
Wang Lishi paused for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the Queen has ventilated His Highness Prince Yan in advance?"
"Queen?"
Zhao Chongyuan murmured to himself.
Wang Lishi continued: "Your Majesty, very few people know about our coming to Youzhou. Apart from the queen, there seems to be no one else. You told the empress before leaving."
"Forehead...."
Zhao Chongyuan looked stiff, "But isn't this traitor living a good life now?"
Wang Lishi sneered: "His Royal Highness King Yan is living a good life, but that is not what His Highness King Yan said in the memorial."
Zhao Chongyuan: "..."
Right now.
A young man dressed as a yamen servant walked up to Zhao Chongyuan and said, "The three of them must be the foreign merchants who came to Youzhou today. Our Highness, King Yan, has invited them."
